Exiting Lockdown: Latest technology helping organisations to get up and running again
Key to the whole lockdown exit is going to be close monitoring and testing of people to ensure Covid-19 doesn’t start to spread and get a grip again.
Research is revealing that large numbers of the public are still extremely wary about venturing out without a lot of persuasion that they will be safe, even to return to much-needed work. It’s a challenge for facilities managers across the country to reassure people, safeguard their buildings and protect, as far as is possible, those who work in and visit them.
One proven solution is the new Body Temperature Detection Cameras, now available from Clearway Environmental Services. They offer organisations across the spectrum a way to monitor people, thus reducing the risk of viral spread. Already installed in Bournemouth Airport, they are about to be rolled out at Heathrow and a host of offices and sites across the country.
These small thermal cameras can help detect elevated body temperature which may indicate the presence of a fever. With technology offering accuracy of down to ±0.1°, it can take such a camera less than a second to detect someone’s temperature, thus allowing large numbers of people to be screened at the same time whilst on the move, i.e. through a turnstile or entry gate/doors. As people pass one of these cameras, built-in audio will trigger an alarm to notify operators immediately when a person with an elevated body temperature is detected, enabling their admission to a building or site to be temporarily prevented until their temperature can be checked again personally with a manual thermometer.
Clearway is currently seeing a huge surge in interest in these easily installed, small cameras and believes they are one of the simplest and best ways for employers, H&S and facilities managers to reassure staff, visitors and the public in these uncertain times that their workplace, travel or retail destination is being protected as far as is possible. It’s also going to assist the hospitality and leisure trade to get back on its feet when venues are allowed to start opening up again.
